Zak puckpicks 
Welcome to the first-ever article of Zak’s Puck Picks!! I started in Cash with Flash 30 Day Sports Handicapping Challenge and have been heating up. I am super excited to keep the momentum going and win some serious money with all of you!
A big part of my life is my 3 kids. Each one of them holds a different attribute that I would personally use to aid me in deciding what picks to make. My four-year-old twins Pork and Ribs and my new crazy 16-month-old Bean (not their real names but very appropriate nicknames).
Pork is a doer. He is one to dive into a situation and figure it out as it unfolds, usually with great success. In terms of the pick, it will be a gut feeling pick and be backed with some stats to explain the feeling. Ribs, he likes to observe the situation, take in all the information, and then make an educated decision on what his next step will be. His pick will be focused around teams that are on hot streaks, either against a team in a matchup or on a winning streak. Now Bean may sound cute and innocent, but he is a wild man. Not a lot of thought goes into actions and if there is some thought, its geared towards “how can I push Dad’s buttons”. His pick will be a little more on the risky side. There will be reasons why I think we should go this way.
As cook by trade and hockey as a passion since I was 3 years old, let’s get some hockey picks in the oven and make some dough shall we?
I make bets on Mybookie, so all of the odds posted will be from there. I will play ALL of the picks I write about in these articles
Pork’s Puck Pick- Arizona Coyotes -145
So far in 2019, the Coyotes and sharks have split their season series 2-2, with the road team winning twice and the home team winning twice. Even though San Jose has been playing better as of late, they have struggled to put the puck in the net this year and their goaltending has been sub-par by league standards. I think this game is low scoring and ends with a Coyotes victory
Rib’s Puck Pick- Pittsburgh Penguins -190
The Return Of Sid the Kid Crosby! Not that I think they needed it to beat them up and down Minnesota Wild. Despite all of the injuries in Pittsburgh, they have been finding ways to pull out wins and put the puck in the net. This is a very well-coached group, with fantastic goaltending most nights. Minnesota on a 3 game losing streak and at 4-5-1 in their last ten games on the road against a team on a 3 game win streak and 7-2-1 record in their last ten, I feel confident this pick will bring some dough we can wheel into a pizza! In their only meeting, this season Pittsburgh won 7-4 on the road.
Bean’s Puck Pick- First article… let’s do 2 here!
They are facing the lowly Detroit Red Wings. The Islanders can not be happy with getting doubled up by their cross-town rival Rangers last night. Against a team that struggles to score and Jimmy Howard who’s the best move is pulling the puck from the back of the net, not to mention that the Islanders are 5th in the league with a measly 2.64 goals allowed per game. I feel the Islanders win this one handily by at least two goals, even though it’s the second game on a back to back.
New Jersey Devils +220
OK, this one is straight from the heart. My father is a Leafs fan and I have been a Devil’s fan since 1998. I have followed this series for decades. They always seem to be close games. Last week the lowly, pathetic Devils, on back to back nights beat the Washington Capitals 5-1 and ended the Tampa Bay Lightning’s 10 game winning streak. The leafs just lost their number 1 defenseman in Morgan Rielly and were already shaky on D. The Leafs are coming off of an 8-4 drubbing by the Panthers. I think the Devils take this one in a high scoring game.
